Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the internal firmware code. If the upgrade
process is interrupted then the unit will have invalid code and will not be able
to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process
is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by
performing another upgrade.
WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable
results and may damage your AV4PRO-VGA unit or computing equipment.
7 - Select the upgrade file to be used
From the main KVM Firmware Uploader dialog, click the
Browse...
button
and select the upgrade file:
AV4Pro_xxx.txt
where xxx is the firmware version.
The upgrade file details will be displayed within the dialog.
IMPORTANT: Check that the ‘Intended Target Units’ field matches the
‘Unit Connected’ field. If these fields do not match then you may have an
incorrect upgrade file, check with Adder Technology Ltd before proceeding.
Check also that the ‘New firmware version’ is greater than the ‘Current
firmware version’.
Check that the
‘Intended Target
Units’ field
matches the ‘Unit
Connected’ field.
Check also that
the ‘New firmware
version’ is greater
than the ‘Current
firmware version’.
8 - Commence the upgrade
To begin the upgrade process, click the
Upload Now
button. The progress
will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide not to continue with
the upload at any stage, click the
Abort
button; response to this is usually
immediate, however, during an erase command, the upload will not be
aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).
9 - Cycle the power
Disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the AV4PRO-VGA unit
will operate using the new firmware.
